May we sit at the foot of the cross; and there learn what sin has done, what justice has done, what love has done.

God works powerfully, but for the most part gently and gradually.

Christ has taken our nature into Heaven to represent us; and has left us on earth, with His nature, to represent Him.

We serve a gracious Master who knows how to overrule even our mistakes to his glory and our own advantage.

Thou art coming to a King, large petitions with thee bring, for His grace and power are such none can ever ask too much.

Whether men are pleased or not, we will, we must, worship the Lamb that was slain.

Whoever is truly humbled — will not be easily angry, nor harsh or critical of others. He will be compassionate and tender to the infirmities of his fellow-sinners, knowing that if there is a difference — it is grace alone which has made it! He knows that he has the seeds of every evil in his own heart. And under all trials and afflictions — he will look to the hand of the Lord, and lay his mouth in the dust, acknowledging that he suffers much less than his iniquities have deserved.
